Watch: Ted Cruz Hit With Yes Or No Question About His Wife. His Answer Has People Talking

Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was cornered by a reporter and asked if he would comment on the National Enquirer’s report the senator has been unfaithful to his with with at least five different mistresses.

“Do you have firsthand knowledge of his marriage?” the reporter questioned.

“I’m gonna comment,” Fiorina continued. “This is an example of the media playing to Donald Trump’s tune. Donald Trump is a serial philanderer by his own admission. And in a week when we have had a terrorist attack in Brussels, a shooting on Capitol Hill, the President of the United States in the baseball stands with Raul Castro and insisting that he be photographed in front of a portrait with Che Guevara with the two Castro brothers, we are talking about a scurrilous ridiculous piece of the National Inquirer? Why do you all dance to Donald Trump’s tune? Let’s talk about the issues please.”

After the reporter reminded Cruz the questions were important and involved the candidate’s moral character, Cruz then went on the attack. “Sir, I recognize that you love going into the gutter with these kinds of questions. [inaudible interruptions from the reporter] Sir, stop interrupting…What is your publication?”

The reporter said he worked for The Daily Mail, and added it was one of the largest, most read publications.

“Look, I’m gonna give a very brief answer to your question which is the National Enquirer’s story is complete garbage. It is total lies, was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen, and I don’t think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash. I’m gonna focus on the issues that matter for the American people.”

Cruz’s insistence on focusing on campaign issues will most likely not be enough to drive away the allegations of marital infidelity. As it stands, the claims of the National Enquirer and the recent threats made by the clandestine hacker organization Anonymous still stand without either one of the entities providing any details to the identities of Cruz’s alleged mistresses.
